DEAR JANE: I accidentally invited the woman who is having a brazen AFFAIR with my best friend’s fiancé to DINNER with her
By JANE GREEN
Dear Jane,
My wife and I are having some friends over for dinner in a few days – and one of our guests asked if she could bring along a plus one. We have plenty of space, so we said yes, excited that we might have a new member of our friendship group!
But while I was doing the seating plan, I realized I didn’t know the name of the plus one, so I asked my friend to text me her information.
When she responded, my jaw dropped.
The woman in question has a very unique name and I quickly realized that she’s the very same person who has been having an ongoing affair with the fiancé of one of our other guests.
The fiancé will not be joining us because he has plans with his children from a previous marriage – but his partner will be there and she has no clue that he’s been carrying on this relationship behind her back.
However I know that the woman having the affair will likely recognize the woman her boyfriend is engaged to…
I don’t think anyone else has realized that they’re both going to be in the same room together and I’m at a loss for how to handle it. If I disinvite someone I’m worried it will look rude or, even worse, raise suspicions. But if they both turn up, that could result in an even more horrifying situation.
Please help!
From,
